Kenny Willekes & Tuf Borland Elevated

EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Thursday used standard elevations to promote defensive end Kenny Willekes and linebacker Tuf Borland to their game-day roster hours before hosting the Steelers.

Willekes, a seventh-round pick in 2020 who missed all of his rookie season because of injury, is in line to play his fourth game.

He played 16 snaps on defense in his NFL debut against Dallas in Week 8 and followed with 41 snaps at defense at Baltimore when he totaled seven tackles, two quarterback hits and split a sack.
